As I've been trying to analyze the pro-Trump supporters, I found this, which helped:
Pro-Cruz Plotters Against Phyllis Schlafly Drag Eagle Forum Founder into Court
As Breitbart News has previously reported, the internal strife within Eagle Forum is connected to Schlafly's decision to endorse GOP frontrunner Donald Trump over Texas Senator Ted Cruz. When explaining her support for Trump, Schlafly cited Trump's strong positions on promoting pro-America trade policies, curbing immigration, and defending national sovereignty -- issues which are very important to Schlafly.
of course, you have to believe him first
I DO think he loves the country. Is he sounding more like FDR tho? Dunno.

The problem, or perhaps challenge is they drive a lot of popular opinion. It's what we complain about all the time with the MSM. There are simply a lot of LIV's that form their opinions based on some of what they read.
Ultimately, if you like the candidate, or want to win at all costs, it's not a bad thing. It's actually a big part of the Democrat strategy.
We spend a lot of time complaining about these things. But what we need to do is co-opt them.

The current Obama lie is that wind energy is 4.7%. That assumes that every windmill they have put up is operating at 100% all the time. Nothing could be further from the truth. Most of them operate only a small amount each day if they operate at all.
One of my in-laws who came in over the weekend said they had built a windmill farm in MD near his house that he passes every day. He said he had NEVER seen the blades spinning at all.
The corrupt Obamanites also say coal is 33%. When I was working it was close to 50% so they have already regulated coal down a bunch. If we were not in the middle of great depression II we would already have rolling blackouts in the NE and west coast.

In Venezuela, Former Chavistas Risk Lives Fighting over a Bag of Onions
A disturbing video of a crowd physically beating each other to get at a select few bags of onions outside a supermarket in Venezuela highlights the struggle the average Venezuelan must endure to keep his or her family fed in the increasingly impoverished socialist nation...

My assessment? I think people are just so sick of Washington they don't care. They really believe Trump will shake things up.
I frankly believe a lot of what Trump did in the past was driven by his business needs and the fact he needed favors. That could give him a distinct advantage regarding the things that need to change. Trump is ego driven and he will want to be popular. That obviously can be good and bad. But I believe if elected he will listen to the majority of people who elected him because of it. He's also a bit of an enigma and seems brash. But I really thing he will be more thoughtful with policy once the job is in front of him.
Look, the people twice elected a junior senator from Illinois who really had nothing on his resume but "hope". I still don't get that. So in the end Trump doesn't scare me that much.
Plus the general electorate trend towards a visceral dislike of Washington hurts Clinton and can buttress Trump. At a minimum I think we can all grab popcorn once that competition starts. IMVHO

Maybe, but things sure don't seem to be trending that way. We are getting record turnout from a broad set of demographics we have not seen in some time.
I went back and looked at polling trends form the primary and general for the last two elections. Ultimately the "general" polling that's done now is not really that indicative. It's only once the one on one competition starts that things become more clear.

Last night in his speech, he pounded Hillary on Benghazi, saying that she slept through her 3 a.m.phone call, on her playing the woman card for sympathy, and her criminal past saying that she has committed a criminal act and should be in jail.
He also restated his plans to build the wall, and his intention not to pay off student debt and instead to increase jobs to help students pay off their own loans.

The idea that Trump's big donations to Dems were simply a part of doing business should be easy to support, if not prove, with evidence - find another couple staunch Republican businessmen who gave vast sums of money to Dem candidates at every level of the government all across the country.

It was one poll and it is ofset by another poll that was the typical suck for him. I personally would be more open to rolling the dice with Trump (even though his style turns me off more than Obama) if 95% of the indicators weren't that he is going to be a huge loser in November.
If we are destined to lose (which we are) I'd rather lose with Cruz because that won't tarnish Trump's message. When Trump loses in November we will be on the fast track to amnesty. No one in Washington will lift a finger to stop it and the GOPe won't even pay lip service to the base on it.

Fair enough and I think that if we lose with Cruz or Trump we will get amnestied into oblivion - not to even mention the supreme court disaster.
It sounds like you, same as me, will be voting for whomever is the nominee and hoping for the best; isn't that true?
How many of the #NeverTrump people would be willing to come back if, and hopefully when, it looks like Trump could beat Hillary - not just beat but humiliate her. I think people like the tribal idea of voting. Ace has mentioned similar stuff before, not in a positive light, just that it is human nature.
And that tribal part of the brain loves voting for a winning team that you can identify with even if only because you are against the other team - so if thatch true, then as polls (hopefully) improve for the Republican in the general how many of the #NeverTrump & #OnlyTrump people will decide to come back aboard to stop Hillary.
As I said earlier - I will, whether its Trump or Cruz. Kasich can deliver this letter into his mail slot.

The regulators probably had money in natural gas. Also, according to a friend of mine who used to work for Con Ed at Indian Point, NYC has a lot of small gas fired IC turbines underground (off the subways I presume) that feed the grid in NYC. It would probably be hard to do away with those and convert to coal.

The RCP average of polls on April 27, 2012 had Obama beating Romney by 4.2%. He won by 3.9%.
The RCP average of polls on April 27, 2008 had Obama beating McCain by 2%. He won by 7.2%.
Most RCP polls around this time in 2004 had Bush beating Kerry by a couple points. He won by 2.4%.
You can't count on the polls to be exactly on the money, but they give a ballpark figure.
They currently show Trump losing to Hillary by 8.5%.

1) The reactor is a design used nowhere outside of the Russian sphere of influence. The control rods used to shut down the reactor are driven upwards by electric motors. Lose electricity, lose the ability to shut down the reactor. Most reactor designs the rods are pulled upwards by electricity and if you lose power, gravity and springs force them down into the reactor.
2) There were numerous warnings but since the operators couldn't track down the cause of the lights, they disabled the warning systems.
3) The explosion was not a nuclear explosion, but rather a steam explosion, since the nuclear material in reactors can't actually explode.
There are other points regarding the actual release of radioactivity, but keep in mind that this would not have happened had basic safety procedures actually been followed, and could not have happened in any western world reactors.
If Fukishima is then brought up, remind them that (again) faulty design (the backup generators were sitting out in the open where they were also flooded) contributed heavily even though experts in the field made the point numerous times over the years that the generators needed to be in enclosed, watertight housings.
Just some thoughts.

I don't think so. Amnesty was stopped in 2007 by a lot of pissed off call to Washington. When Trump loses the message will be taken away by the GOPe will be "See that racist message is a loser! Ignore all those racist phone calls!"
When Cruz loses he will lose on a different focus. Hard borders won't also be tarnished as a political position. We will be hoping for Ryan to mitigate the damage Shumer is doing in the Senate. The less the message itself has been tarnished the more the base can try to influence backbone in Ryan.

One of their biggest design flaws was the carbon reflectors around the core. This allowed them to run with a lower enrichment core (cheaper) as it reflected neutrons back into the core for fission. But a huge drawback was that at lower poser levels it provided for a positive moderator coefficient. That means that as the core and water heats up it actually increases power more. IOW it provided positive feedback. You NEVER run a machine with positive feedback, It also made a nice handy material to burn once the head was blown off due to the steam explosion. That is what caused most of the fission product release. Which was caused by another design flaw to make it cheaper. No containment vessel.

And all she has is pathos arguments that she launches ineffectively like an ad nauseum battle cry, that people fall asleep to because they've heard it so many times.
Yeah and she's done so much for "women", you know with all the enabling she's done for her serial philandered/abuse husband. But you keep telling yourslef that. And let me know specifically what she's done for "women", besides sharing that gender. Maybe you can tell us what she did for the "women" of the Benghazi victims?
Yes, and there is the matter of her pending indictment and the circus that will create. Especially when she responds with her inappropriate laugh that makes you want to look away or hide.

totally OT and random.
I had a horrible night with my family last night. Cousin had a screaming fit because she thinks I gave her Himalayan cats and her teacup Yorkies fleas because I feed a couple of feral cats three times a week. She was rampaging.
This morning I got out of the house early, bought an insanely overpriced coffee drink at the drive-thru window, and when I got to the window, the barista told me the woman in front of me had paid for my coffee and asked the barista to give me "this" -- this being a card saying "Practice random acts of kindness and senseless acts of beauty."
I'm at work and very headachey due to loss of sleep and general tension and trying to appreciate this.

Some of us here expected that Trump would be the presumptive nominee by around now, because we were objective.
We also expect Trump to have a great shot at beating Hillary, and far better than Cruz. YMMV, but we've been right so far.

Conclusively, I believe polls are unreliable indicatives.
Posted by: Marcus T at April 27, 2016 09:04 AM (O0lVq)
Again, ballpark figure.
The fact they'll move by a few points means they have limitations. It doesn't mean you toss them away. If a guy is polling with a gap in the high single digits or the low double digits, that guy has long odds.
We go through this every election--this idea that the polls are unreliable, biased, etc.
Do exceptions happen? Sure. But bet on the other guy.

So you have no confidence in your own 'judgement?' Or you feel your
own favorable opinion of Trump is just as 'dangerous, foolish and
offensive' as unfavorable opinions of him? Because you haven't
hesitated to forcefully offer your own judgements.
They aren't 'judgements', silly child. You misused that term and I pointed it out for you. They are opinions. And they are frequently wrong and flipped on their head.
You hate Trump because of his brash arrogance and over-confidence and obnoxious behavior .
You then brashly , arrogantly and obnoxiously insist that you know what is in his heart and mind : his 'intent'.

That was a big reason. It doesn't change the fact that if there were 40% of Republicans saying they would never vote for them back then, they still would have been fighting for the nomination. Trump is still fighting for the nomination because he's a much more divisive candidate than they were at the time.
And I'm not saying they weren't squishes. At least a couple were. But they had an easier path because they were less divisive at the time.
That's a big problem for Trump right now. It'll continue to be. The polls reflect that.

Interesting, because I apparently have an allergy or sensitivity to opiates-I become violently ill if I take them. Advil PM is the most I can manage without becoming sick, so I guess it's good that I will never become addicted to them.

Yes it does. I take the opiates when I need them, but I definitely do not enjoy the feeling.
There are NSAIDs that work pretty well, although the side effects can be worse than opiates.

Oh I believe it. I also believe Trump has a
point when he says Kasich has gone through nowhere near the negative
attacks that everybody else has gone through. But it's perfectly
reasonable to believe the same country that voted for Bush's
compassionate conservatism for eight years likes Kasich, whether I like
it or not.
Posted by: AD at April 27, 2016 09:46 AM (QuixQ)
Bite your tongue. The majority did not vote for Bush's compassionate conservatism, they voted in spite of it
Most voters voted against the John-John freakshow, Gore's overt country-club socialism, and tried to push back on any further attack on individual freedoms, which Bush was at least a weak supporter of.
Also, being an honorable man helped a lot, as well as the unending attacks by the MSM and various Socialist activists and the various flavors of totalitarian groupies.

My dad had Parkinson's. It led to a number of conditions including congestive heart failure and recurring UTIs. He was also on Cipro among a host of other drugs.
He had bouts of dementia coupled with times of perfect awareness. We could never pin down what was causing it and we just had to roll with the punches. Somedays he was his old self and some days he had no idea who we were.
It was very stressful but on the other hand he was dad so we did what we could. Hang in there.

And add to that list the self-evident fact that the GOP leadership has done nothing whatsoever to obstruct the dog-eating crackhead and, hey presto! you've got Trump.
And I know policy wonks will argue ad nauseam "we did plenty, but you rubes don't understand how DC works!" but that isn't the point. They have not been seen truly standing up to Obama, and perception is everything. It doesn't cut ice with the base any longer to say, "well, Obama wanted to allow Mexican trannies to embed with ISIS and be included in a Syrian refugee transport, but we held the line and only allowed Mexican cross-dressers."

I'm venally obsessed with the destruction of Hillary. The possibility that Trump will accomplish it with "harpoons," "weapons-grade persuasion," and "kill shots" is indescribably gratifying. I'd almost rather see Hillary go down that way than at the hands of Obama's DOJ. Tough call.

The thing about democracy is it's the least bad political solution. You are not better qualified to select the nominee than the sum total of Republican voters any more than Reince Priebus and his cabal of cocktail party organizing barbershop quartet DC Republican henchmen is.
The country has formulated an immune response commensurate to the threat it faces from the forces of coercive global socialism within and genocidal islam without. It is terrible and awesome to behold. We're vomiting uncontrollably.
To start.
When this thing gets going the forces of Social Justice and their suicide pact jihadi allies will wish they'd never been born.

No he definitely is. He posted a picture of his abs the other day.
He's also been right about this election. He looks at the world upside down and diagonally. Just like zerohedge, it's good to keep an eye on what he's saying and use it to calibrate your views.

I've seen his #5 in action. He knows he has a public persona that built his profile and he plays it. But you don't last this long in business by not knowing when to turn that off.
That's what gives me pause about Operation Torch the GOP at times...Trump may be a candidate that has fully adapted to the fallen state of the American electorate, even moreso than Obama, who can afford to be lazy thanks to media overwatch. And I have no idea where that may lead us.

Actually thats categorically untrue. Parties regularly engage in primary processes that produce candidates highly favored by a deep but narrow group of party supporters and yet are deeply disdained by the general public. And it is often in the act of bypassing potential alternatives that are less favored by population 1 (the small number of people that vote in a primary) but more favored by population 2 (the large number that vote in a general). The democrats learned this several times with the moonbats (McGovern) they nominated.
Again, this is taught in Pol Sci 101. Not sure why Trumpkins keep just repeating primary results, as if they indicate anything as far as a general. They don't. And neither does the turnout, which also has no correlation with GE success. However, head-to-head polls and fundamentals data has been historically accurate over the last several cycles.

What does that even mean? They have been predicting that things were going to fall apart for years. They haven't. They have been wrong. How is that supposed to calibrate my views?
Are things screwed up in the world financial markets? Of course. I don't need zerohedge to know that. But when you are constantly predicting doom and it never happens you are just wrong. I prefer to take advice from people who are right.

Yeah, well it's not their predictions that are the problem. If that were the case then AOSHQ would be in the same category. Which it decidedly is not.

Nope. Nobody here is making predictions, just giving opinions. Significantly different thing.
Posted by: JackStraw at April 27, 2016 10:41 AM (/tuJf)
JackStraw the problem with ZH is in connecting the dots. Based on the fundamentals the world economy SHOULD have collapsed as predicted. The tinfoil hats come out in attempting to explain why. I suspect it is a combination of The Powers That Be of global finance having access to computing power and algorithms that are FAR more advanced than we could predict, and being willing to sink to levels of international collusion and market manipulation (of which extensive QE and NIRP are just two examples) than anyone suspected. YMMV. I learned a long time ago to dispense with the conclusion paragraphs of ZH posts. It's still a fascinating and informative site that I use as one data point in forming my opinion on the economy.

call to Washington. When Trump loses the message will be taken away by
the GOPe will be "See that racist message is a loser! Ignore all those
racist phone calls!"
Let's look at the guy who just blew 16 of our best POTUS candidates out of the water and do exactly what his voters don't want because it's verification of our stupidity!

He should fire his campaign people. Tarnishing his brand by partnering with the blowhole mailman's son. He needs to talk about how he will win- by destroying Clinton in issue-focused debates. Channeling his inner McCain is not going to get it done!
On energy:
Plant a tree. It's aesthetic, cheap, improves air and water quality, and yummy critters appreciate the gesture. Common sense, which is of course why the uni-party would never suggest doing it- they're to busy arguing how to distribute my 7 year old son's great grandchildren's money to their favored energy cronies.

The problem with the Scott Adams analysis is that it assumes that Hillary's negatives can be driven lower. They can't. Trump is going to be trying to push her down when she is already lying flat on her back on a concrete floor.
Trump's problem isn't emphasizing her negatives, it is his own negatives.
At least it will be entertaining in the run up before he loses.
